Her belt armor is very capable of bouncing large caliber shells when properly angled, while her 25mm plating makes her extremely susceptible to HE shells from enemy cruisers, even without the use of the Inertia Fuse for HE commander skill. One unique though relatively meaningless difference is that her AP shells have increased penetration angles akin to those found on US Heavy Cruisers.ĭuke of York features an identical armor scheme to that of her sister 25mm plating around the entire ship, and a hefty main belt with a maximum thickness of 381mm. Like all British battleships, her guns have lackluster AP in exchange for phenomenal HE shell characteristics, including the ¼ HE penetration rule, allowing her to do massive damage and light fires to all targets with HE.
Her guns themselves are nearly identical to that of her sister, with the exception of a longer reload. This good forward and backwards firepower comes at the cost of atrocious turret angles, requiring her to show almost a complete, flat broadside to her enemies to fire all ten rifles at a target. This gives her unrivaled firepower to the front and rear of her ship in comparison to all other Tier VII battleships. Many of Duke of York’s statistics are similar, if not identical, to that of her sister as such, her play style is also very similar.ĭuke of York is armed with ten 356 mm guns in a unique setup two quad turrets - one fore and one aft - and a single dual turret in a forward super-firing position. Unlike the other two - which are quite unique - Duke of York is the sister ship of the regular tech tree Tier VII battleship, King George V. HMS Duke of York is the third Tier VII premium British battleship in World of Warships, coming in alongside the previously released HMS Hood and HMS Nelson.
